in addition to the unmistakable scent of black truffles/licorice

The bouquet offers explosive notes of wood fire

delicious and very complex mouth coating flavors of superb depth and length

sappy and punchy finish

The nose offers up cassis

A much more floral-inflected nose is equally fresh and ripe with a broader range of spice elements adding breadth to the pretty red and blue pinot fruit aromas that are trimmed in noticeable if not invasive wood

This is so well-balanced that despite how young it is at present

Otherwise the succulent and opulent massively-scaled flavors possess seemingly endless reserves of dry extract that make the mid-palate and finish of this very firmly structured and almost painfully intense effort appear almost pliant

This superb wine does a slow build from the mid-palate on back to the massively deep finale

a floral note that is unmistakable

A more deeply pitched nose displays a well-layered mix of both red and black pinot fruit along with notes of spice

An absolutely compelling wine
